Yesterday I spent some time on hold on the phone and browsed through my "rarely read" sources, only to find that this week has some great material that's gone largely unnoticed. Let's begin with a field that barely gets mentioned at SEOmoz: Politics. FactCheck.orgI've been referred to this site in t...
For a long time, SEOmoz's RSS feed has been full text - the entire content of every post (minus images, polls & embedded video) has gone out to readers that subscribe through a feed format. According to Feedburner, a majority of our blog readership accesses the blog in this manner - we average a bit over 4,000 feed subscribers, get about 5-600 clickthroughs from feed listings and have only ...
I have to admit that I was a bit sad this morning to discover that my little competition with Matt here at the office didn't go so well for me.

I was recently interviewed on video (in a t-shirt) at our offices here in Seattle by Payscale.com for their Salary Stories blog. I'm not sure if I'll ever be fully comfortable with how I look on video, but it might be something to experiment with. ...
User generated content seems to be a pendulum-swing against the 1980s and ‘90s-style elitism that had all aspects of the media, including the web, tucked away in the firm grasp of a small, skilled group. Now, the opposite is true: In no other public way can the regular folks you see promoting themselves on Bebo or dishing out ...
Seattle Internet startup Trailfire is attempting to blaze a path through the web bookmarking community and straight into your disorganized life. Besides a misleading appeal to pyromaniacs, the service offers some features that are unique, straightforward to use, and potentially very advantageous. Trailfire is essentially a bookmark plug-in for yo...
The user-submitted, Web 2.0 world is, in theory, built upon the idea of a democratic, free-flow of news and ideas: free of the framing, restraint and editorial control of the mainstream media. Unfortunately, much has been made recently of the not-so-egalitarian power structure that exists on bookmarking sites such as Reddit and, particularly, Digg.With an estimated ...
